Media PCs

[KevinUK]

Hey, have any of you got one? Our VHS is on its way out and I've got an Xbox 360 which allows recording to a media PC and so the use of one has increased a lot for me.

I want a slimline one that looks like a VCR and there are a few about on Dabs.com and savastore.com etc but none of them are 100% perfect for my needs.

I would like 2 TV tuners so that I can record something via the xbox 360 while my parents can still record in the living room. I believe if I have 2 tuners then I can record 2 programs and still watch from 2 tvs some recorded info?

Most for sale have 2 tuners OR wireless lan but I havent seen one with both.

I can make the PC myself but I would want it deadly silent as it will be in the living room so I'm after suggestions on one I can buy or on some silent kit.

HD size, 300gb+ I guess as it will store my parents cd collections and holiday videos / pictures.

Thanks :worthy:

Either that or just get one with 2 tuners and add wifi to it.
